Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia is characterized by weight loss (or a lack of appropriate weight gain), a distorted view of weight, and a fear of gaining weight. People struggling with anorexia usually restrict the amount of food they eat, specifically focusing on calories or types of food in some cases.
Binge Eating
With binge eating disorder, a person will often eat large amounts of food, larger than what would be considered normal for a period of time. Those dealing with binge eating feel like they can’t stop and afterwards, they may feel shame, guilt, or distress.
OSFED
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED) is designed to help cover those who may not meet the strict diagnostic criteria for anorexia or bulimia, but who still have a significant eating disorder. OSFED is just as serious as any other eating disorder.
Bulimia Nervosa
Those struggling with bulimia eat large amounts of food and then attempt to compensate, through purging behaviors like vomiting and laxatives, in order to prevent weight gain. There is also a feeling of a lack of control over eating as well as concerns about body shape and weight.
ARFID
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder that involves limiting the amount and/or type of food eaten. While like anorexia in the sense it is a limitation of intake, ARFID does not include concerns about body shape or size.
